Treating horses on the Nintendo 3DS: “Horse Vet 3D”

Examining and healing sick horses – the new simulation from TREVA Entertainment for the Nintendo eShop makes it possible.Players have to
build up their own veterinary practice dedicated to horses and then steer it to success.

Players can experience the day-to-day excitement of a specialist equine vet
practice.Clients arrive with their horses in order to have them examined and
treated;players also have to travel out to emergency cases in the blink of an
eye.But it’s not all work! Taking your own horse for a ride-out isn’t overlooked
either.

The whinnying four-legged friends display a widely ranging set of sickness symptoms or injuries. The young vets, however, can scan the animals and examine them using the magnifying glass, measure
a fever, take blood samples or use ultrasound scans in order to make a diagnosis. For the treatment that follows the vets have plenty of instruments and medications available: cotton swabs to
clean and disinfect wounds, tweezers are used to extract foreign bodies from wounds, salves are applied with the spatula, injections given and bandages wrapped around injured limbs etc. The
horses can even have neck collars placed on them to stop them licking freshly treated injuries. Preventive measures such as immunisation and parasite control also belong to the horse vet's range
of activities. There are further treatment possibilities available in the therapy house: a treadmill for horses and a lunge circle.

When further care and follow-up treatment is needed, the equine patients are then brought in-house. Feeding, grooming, petting and playing are tasks which have to be carried out by the players,
along with the regular cleaning of the stalls. Occasionally, even the odd runaway has to be searched for and recaptured in the huge playing area.

But what’s that? The alarm light is flashing – an emergency! Now the horse specialists have to drive quickly to a call-out. The car is controlled using stylus, the Circle Pad or the movement
sensor. Should there be several emergencies at the same time, then a decision has to be made about the sequence in which the vet will attend them.

The realistic tilt and movement controls of the Nintendo 3DS also make sure that a ride out on the own horse is always big fun. And for a wild ride over hill and dale, there are several ride-out
trails available – and passing horse exams unlocks additional ride-out routes.

The young horse vets have the use of a PDA, a pocket computer, to help them organise their daily routine. This device will tell them about current appointments, diagnoses and their stock levels
of animal feed and medications. If their supplies have been used up, they can travel to the nearby town and visit its stores to stock up again. The town is also home to a bank, a training academy
and an advertising agency. Visits to these are necessary in order to further expand the practice and to turn it into a real gem. Besides, players can breed cute foals and try their hand at horse
trading.

“Horse Vet 3D” offers even more Nintendo 3DS features: the junior vets can take a real 3D photo of themselves and use it in the game. Collected Play Coins can be exchanged for
game currency.
